Only $559,980.64 disbursed of $3.37 million raised
Total disbursements of $559,980.64 are about 16.6% of $3,366,956.68 in receipts. EDF ACTION VOTES has reported spending a small share of reported inflows in these aggregates. The leftover $2,806,976.04 is not labeled cash on hand in this packet. Low spend-through is a Form 3X pairing. It is not a finding that the committee is inactive, and it is not a motive.
Action and votes in the committee name do not prove the $559,980.64 was independent expenditures. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity until schedules are opened on FEC.gov for C00707844. This page does not split ads from overhead.
EDF as an acronym collides with the Environmental Defense Fund and with other EDF-titled entities. The C-number is the match key. Independent-expenditure-only status means Super PAC Form 3X. Do not merge C00707844 with a 501 unless that entity's FEC ID is this one.
Individual contributions of $3,320,657.64
Individual contributions of $3,320,657.64 are about 98.6% of $3,366,956.68. The leftover $46,299.04 sits in other FEC receipt categories this packet does not enumerate. A high individual share plus low spend-through is the distinctive pairing on this Super PAC.
A $3.32 million individual total is a category aggregate, not a donor list. Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts that candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, live on FEC.gov. This overlay does not name those people.
